The SATAMAXe-XL is one of the most cost-efficient (as low as $3.39 per GB) and fastest storage systems in the market today. Designed with content creators in mind, these systems are capable of handling up to 5 streams of real-time, 8-bit Standard Definition playback* and also free up the FireWire port to allow solutions such as the AJA Io, LA, and LD full access to the necessary bandwidth.

Combining the latest hard drive and host bus chip technology, the new SATAMAXe-XL system includes 3 or 5 removable drives that can be striped as RAID-XL to serve DV, DVCAM and Standard Definition uncompressed video. The benefit of the XL RAID is the parity protection it provides dataif a drive fails, the data remains intact.

The SATAMAXe-HD is ProMaxs most economical High Definition storage solution yet. It brings RAID Level 0 performance with 3 hours of 10 bit uncompressed High Definition video for under $3,300. This 1.8 TB of usable storage allows its user to fill drives to just under maximum capacity and still obtain performance to continue output.
